Palazzo Paternò del Toscano, Noble palace in Piazza Stesicoro, Catania, Italy.
The white stone facade of Palazzo Paternò del Toscano spans multiple floors and features a monumental entrance with flanking columns and a balcony above the arch.
Following the 1693 earthquake, the Tedeschi Bonadies family commissioned architect Giovanni Battista Vaccarini to construct the palace, though only the first floor was completed.
The interior spaces contain frescoes and decorations by prominent artists Alessandro Abate and Giuseppe Scionti, representing early 20th-century Italian artistic movements.
The palace currently houses various shops and serves as a venue for educational activities and cultural programs in the center of Catania.
The grand staircase, crafted from marble and stucco, leads to the piano nobile where elaborate salons display a mixture of neoclassical and Liberty style decorations.
